I'm officially the worst at keeping an updated blog. Going to give it another go. 2 posts a week is my goal...let's see how that goes.

Here are some cupcakes that I made for Halloween. They were chocolate & pumpkin with cream cheese frosting with a little orange zest. They were pretty good. Not sure i'm the biggest fan of canned pumpkin though. Probably just a seasonal recipe.

I just made my first post on Culture's blog today. Have you ever thought about putting goat cheese in ice cream? Me neither...until now. I have a feeling that I may be thinking a lot more about cheese while I have this internship.

So with all of the ingredients sitting around from Zack's cupcakes, I have been baking a lot of cookies lately. Last week Marissa came over with a bag of pecans and a handful of chocolate chips and together we made and devoured (in record time I may add) the most delicious cookies ever. Now I realize I may be slightly bias, but how good do oatmeal, chocolate chip and pecan cookies sound? Pretty good is what i'm assuming you are thinking. And you would be right.

Flour was spilled and dishes were dirtied but my sweet tooth was definitely satisfied. Sometimes baking cookies and watching a movie is way better than going out on a Friday night.

So, last month was Zachary's (my handsome & amazing boyfriend) 23rd Birthday. I really wanted to do something special for him and thought I would appeal to his very very sweet tooth. The week before he raved about the guinness float he had, so I used this as my inspiration. I set out to make the most delicious alcoholic cupcakes and in the process become the best girlfriend ever. Watch out girls, i'm afraid I might have made you look (really) bad in comparison.

I usually stay away from baking because it is really messy and kind of a pain to clean up but with my trusty sidekick sanguine (sang-ween-knee) there to help, I knew we could do it. I have to say that these were fun to make the whole way through and I wasn't even drinking any of the beer.
